A1 Heritage Breed Farms is located in west central Ohio, close to Indiana, not far from I-75. We started our farm for several key reasons. First and foremost we wanted to be sustainable. We feel that God has entrusted us as stewards of his creation. Being sustainable keeps our land and animals in the best possible health and returns the land in better shape than when we received it. Secondly, we wanted to raise the best tasting food because food should never have additives if its authentically good! Third, we wanted our children to grow up on a farm—who wouldn’t? Lastly, and most importantly, we wanted food that was good for you. Raising a young and growing family, eating healthy food was a no brainer which is why we grow everything using organic practices. All of these decisions lead us to raising the heritage breeds of: Dexter cattle, Large Black and Red Wattle hogs, Buckeye chickens, Olberhasi goats, Bronze breasted turkeys, and several other mixed breeds of animals, most of which follow the heritage breed lines. We currently have pastured freezer pork available $2.00/lb. live weight = to about $3.50 hanging weight. There is lots of bacon on our hogs—800 slices on average! No wonder they call large blacks “bacon hogs.” These are our personal favorites, they taste EXCELLENT. In our opinion, there is no comparison in taste and flavor! Grass Fed Dexter beef is the fastest selling item on our farm. Dexters have excellent marbling for grass fed animals and have about a 20% larger rib eye for its size (my favorite cut! ) They are extremely docile and small. If you are used to ordering a half, then you want a whole; if you are used to a quarter, you want half a Dexter. This allows you to get all the premium cuts of meat without breaking the bank! Pastured poultry. Please order ahead because we get our chicks in late winter/early spring. We can raise as many meat birds as our customers want, but we have to receive the orders early to get our preparations done ahead of summer. We also have pastured eggs layed by our favorite bird, the Buckeyes! What a great bird, raised in the same great state as its namesake! Delivery available Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Indianapolis and closer. As always thank you for your business and remember to eat local and eat fresh!

Amazing Graze Farm started as a God-given desire to raise or grow as much of our own food as possible and as naturally as we could. Our pastured poultry are in movable pens that are moved daily. They enjoy plenty of sunshine, fresh air, grass and bugs. Broilers are available from June through September. The pasture-raised turkeys are available the week of Thanksgiving.

We are working on fully restoring the farm and saving critically endangered heritage breeds of cattle, chickens, pigs, turkey and eventually goats and sheep through eco-friendly, sustainable, non-certified organic, grass fed, and pastured methods. Endangered cows, chickens, pigs, etc. are in shockingly high numbers! Visit the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy to find out more. We have decided to not become "certified" organic, but adhere rigorously to OEFFA and USDA standards and believe that the standards we set for ourselves exceed certification requirements. We feel that knowing where your food comes from, who raises it and how, provides better peace of mind than a "certified" sticker. Let us know what you think! Randall Cattle Rose Veal. A truly rare and wonderful treat, orders fill up fast. Raised on pasture with their mothers till weaning time (about 10 months), this is NOT the poorly kept, white veal people are used to. These animals live happy, socialized lives, and enjoy a well-rounded diet of milk AND grass. The iron from the grass turns the meat a rosy color, hence the name. Randall Rose Veal is in a category of its own–a must-try for any foodie or culinary connoisseur. Heifers and bull calves are occasionally available. Heritage Eggs & Chicken. Mixed sampler eggs are $5/dozen when in stock. Whole chickens are available for $5/pound; this includes the neck, lungs, heart, and liver.

Slow growing, old fashioned British breeds make some of the juiciest, most flavorful grass fed beef around. Meat rich with beefy flavor and fine, juicy texture – all on a grass only diet – special enough to be included on the Slow Foods Ark of Taste! Our herd of rare American Milking Devons are about as close to their British roots as can be. We began our work raising cattle as a direct response to animal welfare, food quality and environmental issues. We follow non-certified organic methods and the cattle eat only grass and hay grown here at home. Our cows live a happy, natural life of grazing with their buddies, with plenty of spring water & free choice shelter from cold, rain & blazing sun. In beef cattle, there is a documented relationship between high butterfat content in the milk and superior marbling in the beef. And, a scientific reason the flavor and texture of the meat from smaller breeds given longer to mature is so much finer. We have taken great pains to resist the temptation to breed for increased size and beef yield thereby preserving the rich milk that made these cows such a treasure in their native Devonshire, England. You’ve heard of Devonshire cream, haven’t you? Well these girls invented it… We are located just about an hour north of Pittsburgh, and ten minutes from Boardman, Ohio. We have limited amount of beef available each summer and are excited to share it with you. Don't miss out; when it’s gone, it’s gone until next year! Auburn Meadow Farm, Jackie Cleary, 164 Bedford Road, West Middlesex PA 16159. (412) 600-5826. Beech Meadow Farm currently offers exclusively 100% grass fed beef raised year-round in rotationally grazed pastures. Our beef is from our herd of purebred American Lowline
Angus. These cattle are the definition of a heritage breed as they are
from a herd whose traits have not been altered by selective breeding
since the 1940s. Cattle prior to the 1940's were well adapted to marbling
when raised in pastures or on range without the use of grain. Thus our
genetic line provides great tasting, tender well-marbled beef that alters
many of our customer's perceptions of what grass fed beef can be. They
are also smaller, more docile and easygoing than many of today's breeds
and hybrids, which makes them ideal for working with closely on a daily
basis. It also leads to a smaller split-quarter than with hybrids which
can reduce the total cost to purchase from us Beech Meadow Farm, Michael Koob, 7750

When extreme conditions of cold or mud require us to temporarily bring
the cattle onto a straw pack, they receive dry stored forages. Berger's Green Vista Farm, Jonathan Berger, 8200

Since 1996, “We feed people” or help them feed themselves with 100% grass fed, organic (non-certified) Texas Longhorn beef cattle. Callan Cattle Co. markets America’s healthiest breed of cattle, live, or in see-thru frozen vac-packs. CCC doesn’t use extra hormones, or antibiotics. Longhorns rarely get sick due to their healthy “natural genetic outlook” on life. Texas Longhorn cattle multiplied in the Southwest without Man’s help or interference from the 1400s to the 1890s. They were the first bovines on the American Continent, brought over by the Spanish. When they got loose from being stolen or Indian raids chasing them away, their survivability in the wild was Nature Bred into their DNA with 400 years of natural selection. Callan Cattle Co. Texas Longhorns eat grass, browse or locally baled hay from chemical-free fields. CCC uses efficient grass and browse eating cattle. Texas Longhorns turn 6 pounds of grass into a pound of muscle gain without the excess back fat, needing to be trimmed off, common to “other” cattle. The proof is seeing the carcass on a hook in the cooler. If others (upon request) can’t show you a comparison picture to Longhorn of their beef hanging in the cooler, they can tell you anything and not have to answer for it. And yes, Longhorn beef is tender. We don’t “run’em on the Trail” anymore. We’ve had compliments on our beeves for 15 years. Give us a call. We’re five miles north of Newark, OH on State Route 657 (Marion Rd), between Johnstown, Granville and Utica, OH and 35 to 45 minutes from Columbus, OH. Look for the big Callan Cattle Co. sign with the Texas Longhorn cow logo. Cattle of all colors, eating Ohio’s Natural Grass. Delivery to central Ohio. Arranged delivery beyond central Ohio. You Are What You Eat, Eats. Canal Junction Natural Meats & Farmstead Cheese is a grass based farming operation where we believe in raising our animals for food the way that God intended them to be raised. We have a dairy herd along with beef, pork, lamb, broilers, turkeys and layers. We direct market all of the products that we produce on the farm. We recently started to make Raw Milk cheese from our own milk. The dairy, beef, and lambs are 100% grassfed. They do not receive any grain. The pork, broilers, turkeys and layers all are raised on pasture and are given supplemental feed. The broilers and turkeys are moved every 24 hours to another section of pasture. The layers are free ranged within the paddocks that we have the cattle in. We have very heavy clay soil that at one time was a swamp (The Great Black Swamp). It has been drained off since the second half of the 19th century. What was left behind was a soil that is extremely high in naturally occurring minerals. Through proper utilization of grass farming we capitalize on the available nutrients for grazing animals, which in return makes the final product more nutrient dense. It has been said that food grown on heavy clay soil is some of the best tasting in the world. Find out for yourself today. Order some cheese or stop by the farm and buy some meat to try for yourself. We sell the raw milk cheese and meat off the farm. The meat is in nice sized small packages and the cheese is in approximately 3/4 lb packages. Bigger blocks of cheese are available, just ask. The cheese we will ship, the meat must be bought through the farm store. We do have a wholesale price for the cheese for any retailers or restaurant owners. Cheeses available: Cheddar, Colby, Jack, Garlic & Herb, Jack & Dill, Pepper Jack, Italian Herb, Black Swamp Gouda, Miami Erie Canal Swiss and Wabash Erie Canal Gruyere. Canal Junction Blue will be ready in late March of '08. Meat is also offered in bulk. Beef is available by the whole, half, quarter, or half of a half. Pork and lamb are offered by the whole or half.

Our small family farm consists of 252 acres with plenty of pasture and stockpiled forage for 75 head of dairy animals.

The years of creating more grassland and developing mountain springs to supply stock have seen the operation focus on holistic, sustainable practices.

The Flying J Farm was started five years ago with the goal and motto: Restoring the land, the buildings, and the people. Our plan and hope was to restore health to ourselves and others through growing our own food, and better nutrition and lifestyle. We have been certified organic by OCIA and OEFFA for three years. We raise grassfed, chemical-free Hereford cattle and try to have freezer beef in all cuts available year-round. The cows graze rotationally to maximize the pasture and their time on greens. We also raise organic food-grade corn, soybeans, and hard (make bread flour) and soft winter wheat. We raise hay for the cows, but feed them only what we need to get them through the winter. We also grow a large organic vegetable garden with help from interns and volunteers (always looking for more) and have a farm market as well as a CSA. Products from the garden are available during the growing season. We also make maple syrup and have it available year-round. We do four major events each year to encourage urban folks to visit the farm and see how food is raised. These include a Maple Sugar Festival in February, a Mushroom Hunt in April, a farm tour and taste of local food in July, and a Fall Harvest Festival in October. We have some five miles of trails for horseback riding, hiking or cross-country skiing through woods and around lakes, ponds, and streams. We will soon have a B&B and we do small conferences, retreats, and concerts. We are always open to visitors if they call ahead. The Flying J Farm, Richard S. Jensen, 5329 Van Fossen

We are 4 miles east of I-79 off exit 141. For over 25 years we at have been producing and selling top quality show cattle, with the remaining calves being sold to feedlots for grain finishing.

The animals in this program will be slaughtered under federal inspection and we will be processing the meat ourselves, in our facility on our farm. Additionally, the only meat we will be processing will be our grass fed beef. This year the grass finished cattle will have an average dressed weight of 600–700 pounds. They will be sold by the half (300–350 pounds) or in bundles. We have designed 7 different bundles that we hope will meet everyone's needs. The contents and price of each can be seen on our website.

Lookers Lane, Utica OH 43080. (740) 892-3720. Providence Farm is an 82-acre family-owned, USDA Organically Certified farm in NE Indiana (a short drive from the Ohio state line) that produces small quantities of superior quality all-natural pastured meat (beef and chicken). Our farm has been chemical and pesticide-free for nearly 27 years. All of our meat animals are raised on organic pasture in the fresh air and sunlight. We raise 100% Angus beef cattle, individually selected for superior grass genetics to ensure the highest quality grass-fed beef. They fatten naturally (without grain) on the broad variety of fresh forages contained in our pastures. Our beeves receive no grain, growth hormones, steroids, antibiotics, wormers, animal by-products, growth promoters, or feed additives. We offer Redmond salt, sea kelp and natural source minerals on a free-feed basis. Our chickens are also pastured out in the fresh air with plenty of sunlight. Our chicks are started with organically certified grain. Their foraging diet consists of grasses, legumes, bugs and grain that contains no hormones, steroids, antibiotics, or animal by-products. Our farm is small enough that we are able to put a great deal of emphasis on the health of our land, our soils, our forages, and our animals—and that careful management undeniably converts to the health and goodness of our beef and chicken. We believe that it is our role to be good stewards in caring responsibly and respectfully for the land and the animals entrusted to us by God. We offer freezer beef in whole, half, and quarter portions in mid-September, and fresh whole jumbo roasters mid-summer and late-summer.
